Medical Ultrasonic Elasticity Imaging Techniques [PDF]
Journal of the Korean Society for Nondestructive Testing, 2012 Breast and prostate tumors or cancers tend to be stiffer than the surrounding normal tissue. However, the difference in echogenicity between cancerous and normal tissues is not clearly distinguishable in ultrasound B-mode imaging. Thus, imaging the stiffness contrast between the two different tissue types helps to diagnose lesions quantitatively, and ...
